Find Ancestors

Hi, I live in Australia and am trying to trace my husbands family. William John Hersey married Dinah Harris in 1912 and lived at Woodham Cottages, Station Road, West Byfleet. The Herseys were all living in the Surrey areas.
Children were, Ernest, Sidney, Robert, Elsie, Dinah, William (Anne). Robert married Peggy Mathersul, had 3 sons Robert, David, Barry and moved to Western Australia in 1960. If anyone has any information on this family I would really appreciate hearing from them.

Regards Charmaine

I think the marriage you posted is a wee bit early for the couple Maddie. :-)
